i just wanted to say that music is definitely like a drug for me. i have honestly never smoked anything that gets people high, or drank anything either, so music for me is a drug. it is infectious and controls every thought at this point for me. i dl Tim shows off of archive.org almost every couple weeks and listen to them til i memorize every part. music makes me feel certain emotions, and it is getting easier to feel emotion in music for me. i come up with stuff on guitar everyday that goes along with emotions i am feeling. music has made me cry, and most recently i was driving home from dropping off friends at the airport, and i was listening to To Touch Yearning and Open it Up and Smile and i was on the verge of tears the entire way home. it was so amazing, i love music. im sure everyone here can relate to me on this statement...possibly not so much on the drug part, but on the music aspect you guys understand. |

You know, I think that's the basic theme of the humans vs. the cylons struggle in the new Battlestar Galactica. |

Music is the perfect reflection of the human experience. |

well said biff.

I totally hear you. I've often said that music is my best friend. Sounds lame, I know... but I think it's true. Music is always there for me, and has gotten me through some tough times. |
